Chapter 155 Will You Marry Me?


    Isabelle’s eyes sparkled with merriment. She suppressed her exhration and asked with great


    concern, "So now what? Should I keep waiting?”


    Truth be told, Susan was disappointed. She had no idea whether Little Leaf forgot about their


    promise or i f he had already forgotten about her.


    Sighing, she then replied, "I think you cane back now. Thank you, Isa."


    "Don''t mention it, Susie. This is nothing. Besides, you wouldn’t have been involved in an ident if


    you hadn''te to get me," Isabelle said softly. "But he didn''t show up, and I didn''t help you


    anything..."


    "It''s okay. You’ve already done your best. I''m the one who took it too seriously," Susan said. "After


    all, we were still kids at that time. Besides, it''s something more than 20 years ago, so I think it''s


    normal for him not toe."


    "It''s good that you understand, Susie. Anyway, I''ming back now," Isabelle said. Then, she hung


    up the call.


    "Ahhh!" Susan shouted disappointingly.


    ''Little Leaf, you b*st*rd. How can you forget about our promise?’


    However, after giving it a second thought, Susan felt it was reasonable. Little Leaf came from a


    reputable family. To him, Lin County was just a slum and she was merely one of his childhood


    friends.


    He should have a wider world and he should''ve met a lot more people after leaving Lin County. He


    would not remember a twenty-year-old promise and there was a probability that he had totally


    forgotten about her.


    The thought made Susan feel even more sad and depressed. She punched the bed exasperatedly


    and hissed inwardly, ''Hmph, well then, since Little Leaf has already forgotten me, I suppose I don''t


    need to keep him in my heart anymore.''


    After a few hours, Susan''s phone rang.


    "Where are you, Susie? I’m home now but I don''t see you." Julian''s voice wafted over from the other


    side of the line.


    Susan blinked her eyes. "Aren’t you on a business trip? How did youe back so soon?"


    "Yeah. It''s done, so I came back," Julian answered. The tenderness in his eyes softened his hard


    jawlines, and he had an inexorable urge to see Susan right now.


    "I''m on my way back," Susan hastily added.


    She did not let Julian know that she was in the hospital as it was just a small ident and she was


    fine now. Besides, she did not want to make him worried.

    After she hung up the call, she then summoned the doctor and told him to discharge her from the


    hospital. Before this, her head was still swimming, but now the dizzy spells were gone.


    "Doctor, can I be discharged from the hospital now?” she asked the doctor.


    "Well, we didn''t detect anyplications as of the moment," the doctor said. "So, yeah, you may go


    home. But you must keep an eye on your own condition ande back to us if you experience any


    difort."


    "Okay," Susan assented.


    After going through all the discharge formalities, she then left the hospital.


    She had the people from the Four Square Center tow her car away. Even though her vehicle did not


    suffer any damages from the crash, she needed to reinstall a new airbag. As such, she had to g


    down a cab to go home.


    "Woah!” The moment she stepped into the house, Julian pulled into a tight embrace, holding her in


    between his arms so tight as if he was holding the entire world.


    Susan was thrown in for a loop by Julian''s sudden affection. It took her for a long while toe


    around. She moved her arms around Julian, caressing his back softly as she asked, "What''s wrong,


    Julian?"


    Julian did not reply. He just lowered his head and nted a deep, lingering kiss on her lips.


    The kiss was deep and exciting. Susan was clueless about what had gotten into Julian that made


    him so excited. She could feel her knees going weak as she gradually slumped into his arms.


    It was at this moment that Mama Jean emerged from the kitchen with a te of fruits in her hands.


    When she saw the lovely-dovey scene between Julian and Susan, she shrunk back into the kitchen


    as it was something that she should not see.


    After a long while, Julian released Susan from his embrace and said in a deep voice, "I love you,


    Susan."


    "Hmm?" Susan still had not recovered from the passionate kiss. She looked puzzledly at Julian.


    A grin hopped onto the tips of Julian''s lips when he saw Susan''s confused look. He reached out and


    rubbed her head, destroying her ponytail and making her hair tumble over her shoulders.


    "Stop it, Julian! You''re messing up my hair!” Susan glowered at Julian, in which thetter just smiled


    in return.


    "Why are you smiling? Do you know how difficult it is t o get my hair done?" Susan snarled as she


    made a threatening gesture at Julian.


    Looking at Susan, Julian felt that his heart had finally found a ce tond.


    As long as Susan stayed by his side, it did not matter who Little Flower was anymore.


    "Susan,” Julian suddenly called her name.


    "What?" Susan replied crossly as she tied her hair up.


    Then, in the next second, Julian suddenly dropped on one knee and held out an exquisite box with


    his hand.


    Susan froze as disbelief filled her eyes. Her heart leaped into a gallop as she somewhat had a


    hunch of what he was about to do.


    "Julian, you..." Before she could say anything, Julian opened up the box, revealing the shiny


    diamond that sat in the center.


    "Susan Shelby, will you marry me?" Julian asked, his voice deep and serious.


    Susan could not believe what she was seeing right now.


    ''Is Julian proposing to me?’


    Even though they had been married for more than a year, Julian had never proposed to her and


    they did not have a wedding ceremony either. It was a forced marriage that was not based on true


    love. As such, Susan was kind of surprised that Julian would propose to her now.


    Looking at Susan, who was standing frozen stiff, Julian narrowed his eyes, "You are not going to


    say yes?"


    Truth be told, Susan did not know what to react to. A faint flush suffused her cheeks as she said


    nervously,"


    We have been married for more than a year, so why are you proposing to me now..."


    "That''s different," Julian’s face was serious as he announced, "Susan, I''m telling you this. I, Julian


    Shaw, want to spend the rest of my life with you. Now, you only have to answer me. Will you marry


    me?"


    Julian’s face softened into a smile when he imagined having Susan standing by his side for the rest


    of their life.


    He did not forget that he owed Susan a proper proposal and a wedding. Initially, he thought Susan


    was Little Flower, so he nned to propose to her once again on the day they promised to meet


    each other 20 years ago.


    Susan was not Little Flower, but it did not matter anymore.


    The person he fell in love with was Susan. It did not matter if she was Little Flower or not as she


    was the woman that he wanted to be with for the remainder of his life.


    Julian was so serious that Susan did not know how to respond. She looked into his eyes and


    seemingly could see stars and moons in them.


    All of a sudden, a grin crossed her face as she said," What if I say no?”
